Community CP-U2 <br />Floodplain Forest <br />Qualitative Rank: CD <br />Nonnative Shrub Rank: 13 <br />This floodplain forest is found along the south part of Bennett Lake in a narrow strip between the <br />lakeshore and a neighborhood street. The most common trees in the somewhat broken canopy <br />are cottonwood and boxelder that average 20 and 10 inches in diameter, respectively. Other tess <br />common trees include American elm, black willow, bur oak, and the nor�native weeping willo�v. <br />The shrub layer is mostZy dominated by native species characteristic for this community type. <br />The most cornmon are red osier dogwood, boxelder saplings, green ash, common elder, and <br />black currant. Also found here occasionally are a few nonnative shrub species, including <br />European buckthorn and Tartarian honeysuckle. <br />The �round layer is dominated by a handfu] of species, some of which are ag�ressive nonnatives. <br />The most common nonnative species in the ground Iayer include creeping Charlie, deadly <br />nightshade, reed canary grass, and smooth brome. Overall, this community received a lowered <br />rank due to the relatively young age of the trees, the frequency of nonnatives, and thc lack of <br />sufficient native cover in the ground layer_ <br />;. , ... : <br />Commuriity Activi . , '; Prtox�t . ` . <br />ty .
